Weregamer's Game Musings

From a user named Heklios on the civfanatics forum, some words very worth repeating: I would kindly like to remind everyone that, among the total amount of people who bought Civ 6 : - few go about reading Civ6 related stuff online. - even fewer spend the time to write threads on forums. - and those who do write threads are mostly men in the middle to upper age category (I said mostly). I cant recall ever thinking about reading articles on Civ2 when I was 13 years old. It was my very own personal adventure where the difficulty level would matter much less than extrapolating in my mind a rifleman entering a pixelated forest into a real fantasy going on in my imagination. So the opinions you can read here are absolutely not representative of the general opinion. Please, go on and play on Settler if you wish, my son loves it. And I watch him pinch his lips to voice out the sound of the bombard each time it fires, living his own adventure, and me, envying him.

I like the games I like, and I'm no longer in the business of making games, so in many ways this article is not to my address. But it was still really worth my time to read carefully. It never gets anywhere near the stupid misogynistic pseudo-editorial "defense of games" crap that I'm not naming to avoid the still-raging humans pretending to be flamebots, and it comes from the opposite, and very constructive direction. And it quotes Tim Gunn more than once, in a very on-topic way. Tim Gunn is an awesome individual, even though I doubt he's ever been in the same room as a videogame for long. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-11-07-video-games-are-boring
